The Bonus Board is a mode in Mario Party Advance that works in conjunction with a physical paper board. It can be played with up to four players, with the goal being to collect a single Star, which wins the game. It requires cutting out the board, cutting out and assembling the character pieces and Star Piece, and using the game to roll a die, play a Gaddget, or get a chance at collecting a Star. Though the manual encourages players to create new rules themselves as they see fit, it does come with some baselines: players move around the board in an attempt to collect a Star, which can be placed on one of the four Star Spaces on the board. When a player lands on the space with the Star Piece, they can open one of six boxes in the video game, with one of them holding the Star. If they open an empty box, their turn ends; if they find the Star, they win the game.
Spaces[edit]
| Space | Effect |
|---|---|
 Yellow Space |
Nothing happens when a player lands on it, and his or her turn ends. |
 E. Gadd Space |
The players use the Gaddget Selection Screen to play with a Gaddget, which has game-specific effects suggested in the manual. |
 Star Warp Space |
The Star Piece is moved to a different Star Space. |
 | | | Pipe Space |
The player who lands on it moves to the corresponding space. |
 Star Space |
The player who lands on it gets a chance at collecting the Star if the Star Piece is there. Otherwise, nothing happens. |
Boards[edit]
| Board | Description | Yellow Spaces | E. Gadd Spaces | Star Warp Spaces | Pipe A Spaces | Pipe B Spaces | Pipe C Spaces | Pipe D Spaces | Star Spaces | Total Spaces |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The base physical board included with physical copies of the game in all regions. This board has a simple layout with two paths of spaces around the perimeter of the board: an large outer path and a small inner path, which contains the four Star Spaces. Players navigate the outer path and try to land on Pipe Spaces to reach the inner path for a chance at winning. | 25 | 17 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 60 |
 Kuppa Version |
An extra board available in PDF format on the official Japanese website for the game, which can be printed and played on. This board depicts Bowser and the Koopa Kids, and consists of three separate paths. It is a more compact board that contains only A and B Pipe Spaces, and is unique in having the players share a starting area. | 19 | 15 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 48 |
 Wide Version |
Another extra board available on the official Japanese website. This large board is broken into quadrants that must be printed and assembled. As the layout of each quadrant is seamless, they can be arranged in any order. As well, the layouts contain different numbers of spaces, so the chosen starting area can have an element of strategy. | 77 | 13 | 15 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 128 |
